2026 RMS-AAPG Annual Meeting
Students & Young Professionals
Student and Young Professional Events!
The 2026 RMS AAPG Conference Is Deepening its Commitment to Students and Early Career Professionals.
The 2026 RMS AAPG conference offers a specific programming stream designed to support the next generation of geoscientists, starting with a Student & Young Professional Meet-and-Greet on the opening night.
The Rocky Mountain Rendezvous (RMR) Recruiting and Networking Event on the last day of the conference connects students and early-career professionals with participating employers. The event emphasizes first contact and relationship-building, giving attendees an opportunity to learn about companies, career paths, internships, and potential employment opportunities.
A companion Student & Young Professional Mentoring Roundtables event is designed to connect Student & Young Professionals with professionals from different sectors through small-group roundtable discussions.
Specifically for undergraduate and first year graduate students we offer a scientific writing workshop that is designed to help students get started to turn their research ideas into a manuscript.
Students can further enhance their 2026 RMS AAPG experience by volunteering at the conference. Contribute a minimum of 4 hours of your time and receive a $50 reimbursement of your conference fees—a great way to get involved, build connections, and save money.
Contact our Student & Young Professionals Events Chair Chioma Onwumelu (onwumeluchioma@gmail.com) with any questions regarding these events.
Students can sign up to volunteer at the conference in exchange to get registration costs reimbursed, and are also encouraged to apply for travel assistance.
